...also, is there a possibility that Alexis was inspired by Hasan?
Donald Joy is a pretty clever fellow. I know from past interactions with him online.
It's 150 miles from Ft. Hood to Dallas-Ft worth.
Just how loosely does this guy use the word "area"?
Coincidence doesn’t imply causation. In other words, so what?

What I guarantee is that Alexis, like Muhammed and like Hasan, was severely mentally ill.
I also guarantee that he, like Muhammed, had been in trouble with the law.
Yet, despite this fact, I guarantee that many will demand that sane people with no arrests be deprived of their rights of self-defense from these insane criminals.
Sounds a little like the Lincoln/Kennedy assasination trivia.
Here is the coinkydink.
THERE ARE GUN-FREE ZONES!!!!
Just like the schools, the movie theatre and on and on.
Signs don’t protect people. Guns protect people.
1. Major Hasan was a psychologist, an officer and active duty. Alexis was an an enlisted man who had been out of the military for over 2 years.
2. Hasan was politically connected and part of the Obama transition team. Alexis was not.
3. Alexis was from Brooklyn, Hasan from the DC area.
4.Hasan was only shooter, Alexis was one of 3 possible shooters.
5. Hasan was not killed. Alexis was killed.
6. Hasan was of Middle Eastern descent. Alexis was an African American.
PTSD is to blame, so they say. Chris Kyle’s killer too, so they say. They make great recruits for such missions I suppose.
...by a serviceman from the Dallas-Ft. Worth ...
WRONG! End of coincidences.
I’ve seen posts reporting Alexis was hired by NMCI. NMCI’s contract expires very soon and it’s likely he may not have been rehired under a new contract mechanism. Of course it also doesn’t say much about our computer network security. ...or Ross Perot...(but I think he already sold out his shares.)
Ft. Hood is a little more than “just outside” Dallas-Ft. Worth.

Al-Qaida leader calls for attacks inside US [Obama’s “allies” in Syria]
Daytona Beach News Journal ^ | 13 sep 13 | MAAMOUN YOUSSEF

Al-Qaida’s leader on Friday marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by calling on Muslims to strike inside the United States, with big attacks or small, using any opportunity they can to “bleed” America financially.
In an audio message released two days after the 12th anniversary of the attacks, Ayman al-Zawahri said America is not a “mythic power” and that the mujahedeen - Islamic holy warriors - can defeat it with attacks “on its own soil.”
Al-Zawahri, the successor to Osama bin Laden, used the anniversary to argue that the United States can be defeated by targeting its economy. At the same time, he also addressed the ongoing upheaval in the Arab world. Pointing to a power struggle going on within the rebellion against Syria’s regime, he warned jihadi fighters in that country’s civil war not “compromise” with more secular or moderate rebel factions, who he said would eventually turn against the al-Qaida-linked radicals.
Al-Zawahri, who is believed to be hiding in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border regions, said al-Qaida sympathizers should stage small attacks or a “big strike” against the United States, similar to the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington, leaving America in “a state of tension” about when and where the next hit would come.
“We should bleed America economically by motivating it to continue its huge expenditure on its security as America’s weak point is its economy,
On Syria’s civil war, al-Zawahri addressed al-Qaida-linked jihadis - including many foreign fighters - who have taken an increasingly prominent role in the fight against President Bashar Assad’s regime.
“I warn my brothers in Syria against any compromise with those factions. They have to learn the lesson of Egypt,” al-Zawahri said. He was referring to the army-backed overthrow of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood.
FT Hood is NOT in the DFW area.
I sorta quit reading right there.
No coincidences here.
In both cases individuals around the perp deliberately refused to say or do anything about the obvious signs that something was wrong and that they were dealing with a dangerous individual.
In one case it was about a member of the peaceful religion of peace. In the other, America’s first and foremost victim group.
That was the connection between the two events.
And yes, he might have been inspired by hasan.
John Mohammed and Lee Malvo were from Seattle and look at what they did!
This guy had been in trouble for shooting neighbors stuff.
Was he too under a federal shrinks care like so many of the previous mass shooters?
Was there here too maybe some hypto crap here too??
